Poor Kitty Jay
Such a beauty cast away
This silent prayer
It should paint some peace
On her grave
Something broke her sleep
Poor Kitty Jay
Such a beauty thrown away
So young and fair
Now she’s turned to dust
And clay
Terror broke her sleep
Never guessed unto her cold end
Called the Devil her only friend
Never guessed it with his bare hands
Called the Devil the mark of man

One long year ago today,
I stopped to hear a story told,
Of how an old man was taken down to the roots below.
She took my arm, we walked alone,
We climbed across this open field,
She didn’t pause for breathe until this cross drew near.
She sat down by this little mound,
Softly she did weep and sigh,
Come to me my father for I am lost inside.
But since that time how things have changed,
For this sweet girl who was my bride,
She is laid down under close by her fathers side.
I planted there upon her grave,
The sacred seed of a willow tree,
I pray it’s long hard roots forever shelter me.
One long year ago today,
I stopped to hear a story told,
Of how an old man was taken down to the roots below.
